Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 35:45
Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic.
ثم ذكر تعالى كمال حلمه، وشدة إمهاله وإنظاره أرباب الجرائم والذنوب، فقال: { وَلَوْ يُؤَاخِذُ اللَّهُ النَّاسَ بِمَا كَسَبُوا } من الذنوب { مَا تَرَكَ عَلَى ظَهْرِهَا مِنْ دَابَّةٍ } أي: لاستوعبت العقوبة، حتى الحيوانات غير المكلفة.{ وَلَكِنْ } يمهلهم تعالى ولا يهملهم و { يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ إِلَى أَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى فَإِذَا جَاءَ أَجَلُهُمْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِعِبَادِهِ بَصِيرًا } فيجازيهم بحسب ما علمه منهم، من خير وشر.تم تفسير سورة فاطر، والحمد للّه رب العالمين
